Trey Gowdy R-SC Waxes Eloquent over Fast and Furious

By: bwilliamson (Diary)  |  June 21st, 2012 at 08:27 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

I wanted to share this video of Trey Gowdy from South Carolina’s 4th District speaking in a session of Congress over the Fast and Furious contempt discussion.  Rep. Gowdy has all the subtly of a chain saw and says what most of us feel about this issue.  He holds back no punches and addresses not only the problems with the Administration, but how Congress is wasting it’s time with frivolous issues like baseball and Steven Colbert.

I am very proud to be from Rep. Gowdy’s district in SC and know that we sent a good one up to the big house.  I only wish that more of those that were sent would have the moral courage and character to stand for what is right and not let political expediency and political pressure stand in the way of justice.

    Thanks for posting!

    Congressman Trey Gowdy is one of my FAVORITE REPRESENTATIVES!

    In fact, South Carolina has one of the best delegations. Jim Demint, Tim Scott, Joe Wilson, Mick Mulvaney, Trey Gowdy, Jeff Duncan are all awesome leaders!

      South Carolina does not tax Social Security benefits or railroad retirement income. South Carolina also allows special exemptions for retirees and senior adults.

      Beginning the first year you receive qualified retirement income and until you reach age 65, you can take an annual deduction from your taxable income of up to $3,000.

      You can claim this deduction for income received from any qualified retirement plan, including IRAs, government pension plans, Keogh plans and private sector pensions. At age 65, the deduction increases to a maximum of $15,000 on any source of income. Each spouse receiving income from a qualified retirement plan may claim the retirement deduction.
